Sinn Féin

Sinn Fein is a democratic socialist and Irish republicanist party in Ireland that was founded on 28 November 1905 as a pro-independence political party. The party split with the Workers' Party of Ireland in 1970, and it became the political wing of the Provisional Irish Republican Army during The Troubles. The Sinn Fein party supported separatist movements in Scotland, the Basque Country, and Catalonia, and in 2007 it accepted a power-sharing deal with the pro-United Kingdom Democratic Unionist Party, bringing an end to the political turmoil in Northern Ireland.
